Summary

INTERVIEW | Christopher Rufo is at the forefront of exposing critical race theory, DEI, and the radical Left’s agenda to undermine traditional American values. His new book, “America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything,” is a history of the Left’s key figures and its playbook for infiltrating America’s institutions and indoctrinating our children. The book, which debuted at No. 14 on The New York Times' bestseller list Wednesday, profiles four figures who shaped the Left's thinking and strategies: Herbert Marcuse, Angela Davis, Paulo Freire, and Derrick Bell. Rufo's detailed reporting and meticulous research paint a far different picture about them than you'll find in corporate media. Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, spoke about his motivation for documenting the Left's game plan. He also offered his perspective on the counter-revolution that he hopes will ultimately prevail. Listen to our full interview or read a lightly edited transcript at The Daily Signal. Hosted on Acast.
